Climate change affects plants in many different ways. Increasing CO 2 concentration can
increase photosynthetic rates. This is especially pronounced for C 3 plants, at high …

A key finding from elevated [CO2] field experiments is that the impact of elevated [CO2] on
plant and ecosystem function is highly dependent upon other environmental conditions …

Primary events in photosynthetic (PS) acclimation to elevated CO2 concentration ([CO2])
occur at the molecular level in leaf mesophyll cells, but final growth response to [CO2] …

Amid the ongoing political and scientific debate over the consequences of the" greenhouse
effect," most concern is focused on the prospect of changes in the global climate. That the …

Leaf thermoregulation has been documented in a handful of studies, but the generality and
origins of this pattern are unclear. We suggest that leaf thermoregulation is widespread in …

Climate change will include correlated increases in temperature and atmospheric CO2
concentration (Ca). Rising temperatures will increase the ratio of photorespiratory loss of …

Plant growth can be limited by several factors, among which a lack of water is considered of
major importance. Despite the vast knowledge of the effect of water stress on …

It has been 75 yr since leaf respiratory metabolism in the light (day respiration) was
identified as a low‐flux metabolic pathway that accompanies photosynthesis. In principle, it …

Elevated atmospheric CO2 pressure can affect—directly or more often indirectly—most plant
processes, including respiration. It is commonly, but not always, observed that respiration (in …

Recent compilations of experimental and observational data have documented global
temperature‐dependent patterns of variation in leaf dark respiration (R), but it remains …
